The mixed-use building operator will bring its Hospitality Living concept to the Financial District
NEW YORK and WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — WhyHotel, a hospitality platform and operator, in partnership with building owner The Rudin Family, today announced the launch of its first property in New York City – Front & Wall Street, Operated by WhyHotel. Situated in the heart of NYC’s Financial District, Front & Wall Street will operate under the Hospitality Living business arm of WhyHotel, blurring the lines of home and hospitality by housing both long term residents and nightly stay guests in fully furnished accommodations. WhyHotel will begin welcoming guests on November 1st, 2021.
Located at 110 Wall Street, WhyHotel’s newest hospitality living property is a former office building, the majority of which was converted to apartment-style units in 2015. Today, the building features just over 200 units and amenities such as a 7th floor terrace with outdoor grill and kitchen, fitness center with a spin studio, guest laundry room with ping pong and pool tables and community kitchens.
WhyHotel will operate the building as a mix of short-term guest stays and longer-term resident leases. In the perfect location for both recreation and work, WhyHotel’s Hospitality Living model will support guests and residents whether they are in town for the weekend or seeking accommodation for months.
“New York City is a market that we’ve had our eyes on for a long time now,” said Jason Fudin, CEO and Co-founder of WhyHotel. “Our partnership with the Rudin Family is an exciting opportunity to reinvigorate a building that is incredibly well designed to bring together hospitality and home in a way we expect to become commonplace in the U.S. over time. The Rudin Family, as they have often been in real estate, is at the cutting edge of this trend. I can’t think of a better place than the heart of FiDi, where people come from around the globe, to launch this product.”
